Hakureisaiga- Thanks for all of your reviews and now the conclusion of the Tsunade Arc…and the death of Orochimaru

Chapter 19- End of the Line, Orochimaru

Two days had passed and Naruto was able to finish the Rasengan and was working on doing it with one hand without the help of his Kage Bunshin. He also trained with his new weapons, Baul and Modeus to get used to them.

In his mind, both Orochimaru and Kabuto were going to die at the end of the week and he was going to make sure that it happened. He returned to the hotel and fell asleep on his bed while Jiraiya and Tsunade were drinking at the pub again to have the Slug Sannin convince her about the right decision.

"So what do you want this time?" she asked.

"Tomorrow is the last day for the bet with Naruto. I wonder what happened to him anyway."

Without Jiraiya noticing, Tsunade slipped an odorless and tasteless drug in his sake, watching him drink it. And soon the hours passed as Jiraiya fell asleep and Tsunade was able to slip away.

Base on the outskirts of Fire Country- "I wonder which answer she will give us...if it is yes, then the destruction of Konohagakure will be in your grasp and Tsunade will be reunited with her two loved ones. However if she says no..."

"Then it looks like I will have to force her to join us."

"Do you think it will be easy?"

"I have you, don't I?"

Kabuto smirked at the comment and Orochimaru continued, "You don't need to worry. I know the most, when it comes to her, even her weakness...she will agree to the deal for sure."

Back at the hotel, Tsunade was caring for her godson as Shizune explained his condition. Tsunade admitted, "Jiraiya was right...it was a foolish bet that I made with him and for me to get so worked up about it...heh heh."

Shizune knew the tension was in the air and decided to cut it, "Tsunade-sama...please don't go tomorrow." Tsunade said nothing and Shizune shouted, "Why won't you say anything back, please answer me, Tsunade-sama!"

Tsunade didn't move and Shizune declared, "If you plan to go...to that...man, I don't care if it takes my life, I will stop you." Tsunade glared at her, "Shizune, do you know who you are talking to?" Instantly Tsunade crossed the hallway and knocked out Shizune.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru and Kabuto were on the way at the rendezvous point to meet the exchange from Tsunade. "Kabuto...it could be problematic if we had any...interruptions with the exchange." Orochimaru said.

Kabuto glanced at the Snake Sannin, "What do you suggest?"

"Take care of that associate of Tsunade. It might be best if we kill her now."

Kabuto took out a kunai and used it to maneuver him in a different direction.

Naruto woke up and looked down to see Shizune on the ground, "Oi, Shizune-san, wake up." Shizune's eyes fluttered open and said, "N-Naruto..." The Jinchuuriki replied, "Yeah, it is me...what happened to you?"

Immediately Shizune sprang into action, " Ugh…Tsunade-sama…" Then she gasped, "Lady Tsunade, she went to see Orochimaru….quick, we must hurry and find Jiraiya-sama." Her head came an inch out of the window until a kunai whizzed past her face. She looked to her left to see Jiraiya.

"Wait, Shizune..." The Sannin said.

Naruto came to the window, "Ero-sensei, what happened to you?"

Jiraiya said, "Your fucking godmother...she must have slipped a drug into my drink. I can't control my chakra well and my body stings like hell."

Shizune looked at the ground and gritted her teeth. Naruto said with conviction, "Which means we have no time to waste no time...either way when we get there, there will be one less Sannin."

Meanwhile Kabuto was hiding in the shadows, "For Jiraiya-sama to even be here, this has gotten more complicated. I will have to report this to Orochimaru-sama...and for Naruto-kun to be here as well." He shifted back and Jiraiya along with Naruto glanced at the place that Kabuto was previously at.

Jiraiya said, "Naruto, Shizune, let's go...and Shizune, explain on the way about Orochimaru's promise."

Shizune said, "Hai..."

Forest- "So Orochimaru is trying to convert Baa-chan over to heal his burns, huh? Perfect….this is an opportunity to kill him and end this whole charade of immortality mess here and now."

"Remember, Naruto, I am at only probably thirty percent of my strength at the moment."

"I know….but I am going to kill him, I promise Anko-chan that I will bring back his head to her if I ever got the chance…"

Soon the three of them including Tonton landed to the ground to see the destruction in the same place where Shizune and Tsunade first met the devious duo of doom after several years.

"The rubble looks a bit fresh; it looks like our little princess declined Orochimaru's offer." Jiraiya said, "They couldn't have gone far from here."

"Good, I don't have to kick my relative's ass at all then." Naruto commented.

Jiraiya said, "Come on, we must hurry….Tsunade won't last against Orochimaru for long."

"Right!" Shizune said.

Meanwhile, Tsunade was panting out of breath and trying to bash Orochimaru and Kabuto's brains inside their skulls. Knowing that the small area was a disadvantage to them, Kabuto made the suggestion to move to a more suitable location. Orochimaru agreed, letting his fuck bud-er, right-hand man lead him to a large clearing.

"It seems that Tsunade-hime is out of breath….it might be a good time to put 'it' to use." Orochimaru said. Kabuto took out a soldier pill and ate it as he said, "Although taijutsu is not actually my forte…." Then he did hand signs, "Chakra Mesu no Jutsu!"

"So he knows medical jutsu as well." Tsunade thought. Then the iryo-nin decided to take the time to disappear and her eyes widened as Kabuto's hand exploded from the ground beneath her feet. She jumped into the air and slammed her fist quickly into the ground, but Kabuto managed to evade the deadly strike.

Large chunks of stone surrounded the two medical ninjas and Tsunade looked to see a large stone by her foot and she chose to kick it at Kabuto. His kneeling form disappeared from the stone's deadly path and was behind her in an instant while she was in mid-air.

Kabuto touched her bicep and abdomen only to leave Tsunade with an opening as she touched down on the ground. She slammed her shoulder into Kabuto's chest, making him slide back a few inches from her. "Ouch." Tsunade said. "Damn, he cut my muscles." She thought to herself.

"That is right, I have cut your bicep and abdomen muscles, so that super strength trait of yours will not be a nuisance to me anymore."

"Chakra scalpels? But if you have that, then why would you cut my muscles. Why aren't you aiming from my arteries?"

"Although my skills in the medical field are excellent, but in the midst of a battle, I am not that accurate to aim for your arteries or main organs…..but if I aim at your neck, it shouldn't be a problem." As he said this statement, he moved toward Tsunade and struck at her.

Tsunade, thinking that he was aiming at the neck, moved to block, but Kabuto proved that it was a feint and aimed at her chest instead. "Damn you….you hit my lungs….can't breathe." Tsunade coughed. Then she thought, "He isn't an ordinary iryo-nin. His speed and strength exceed my own even in my prime."

Kabuto shifted his glasses, "It would be a bother if you were to die, so I won't aim for your neck, but after that blow….you shouldn't be able to move around."

But he was surprised as Tsunade sent him sprawling to the ground with a blow to the neck. "Damn it, it didn't hit her lungs at all….hmph, I guess those large breasts are good for something. It seems that I need to be a bit more serious about this."

Suddenly he noticed that his body was going haywire. "Wha…" WHAM! Tsunade lands a punch across his face before he could figure out what was happening to his body. "This….this isn't caused by my muscles; it's caused by my nervous system."

Tsunade replied, "I see that you seem to realize your problem, I converted my chakra into electricity and transfer it throughout your body."

Orochimaru thought, "Fufu, I see…..the nervous system is run on electricity, but Tsunade disrupted the initial flow by sending more electricity. Now the signals in Kabuto's body is sending so many signals that it can't distinguish them."

Tsunade took advantage of the situation by healing himself while Kabuto knelt there to figure out his body. "Okay, if I moved my right hand, my left leg moves. If I move my left foot, my right shoulder moves." In a matter of moments, Kabuto was able to figure out sixty percent of his body.

"Don't think that with the level of power…..can defeat me!" Kabuto shouted.

"What? He figured out how to control his body already?"

"You are afraid of blood, right? I'll show you some now…..I'll scatter just enough blood until you are at the brink of death." Kabuto declared as he brought down the kunai, but he was stopped and the right-hand looked to see a devilish hand on his arm.

"Hello, Kabuto….how have you been?"

"Naruto-kun…what a surprise." Kabuto replied with a smile and Naruto glanced to see a scowling Orochimaru with bandages over his arms. "And hello to you too, you cowardly snake, how is your arms and more importantly, how is your ass since I gave you that lovely present back in Konoha?" he asked with a smirk.

Orochimaru just glared at him and said nothing, but Naruto continued, "Oh, don't be mad, Orochi-chan, I wanted to thank….you gave me the pleasure of exposing Danzo and his bitches on the council, reveal the true reason that Itachi-san killed his own clan, get one of the Devil Arms that my mother awakened and learn the locations of most of your bases in Fire Country."

"What?" Orochimaru said in surprise.

"Yeah, Tayuya-chan, you know, one of the Sound Four, your bodyguards until I killed them. The one that you lied to saying that I killed Kin-chan, that one….she is a fighter, but I got through to her with the help of Kin-chan and now she is living with me under house arrest of course after she told me about your bases. I will be paying them a little visit after I kill you." Naruto said with a smile.

Then his face lost its smile and he glared at the Sannin, "You are going to pay for the pain you caused Anko-chan, Orochimaru….your time is up…Beowulf." The gauntlets and greaves of light appeared on his arms and legs and then he threw Kabuto away as he attacked Orochimaru while Kabuto fought against Shizune and a weakened Jiraiya.

Orochimaru instantly spat out the Kusanagi to block Naruto's punch, but he was still pushed back. "You are….as strong as your father when I fought him back then, now there was a true genius unlike you." The Snake Sannin commented.

Naruto replied, "I am a genius…of hard work, it doesn't matter if talent is born in your blood like Sasuke. As long as you got the determination to do everything in your power to protect the ones that you love, that is a good enough quality to describe a genius. Your ambitions will end here!"

Orochimaru shouted, "Ninpou: Seneijashu!" Snakes appeared out of his sleeves, slithering towards Naruto, who jumped in the air and shouted, "Lunar Phase!" He came down hard onto Orochimaru's face, which melted into mud.

Then Orochimaru appeared out of the earth, extending the blade of the Kusanagi into Naruto's skull. The boy dissipated into smoke and Orochimaru thought, "A Kage Bunshin?"

Naruto shouted, "Up here!" The Snake Sannin looked up to see Naruto with Modeus in hand, "Falco de Fede!" Orochimaru used Kusanagi to block Naruto's descending attack and then he found himself flying back, forgetting about the power of the Devil Bringer.

Orochimaru skidded back, but he got his bearings as he slithered out to Naruto, flipping through hand signs and elongating his neck and fangs to bite him. "Ninpou: Hari Jizo!" Naruto shouted as the boy's hair grew and covered most of his body, but the snake kept going until a clone appeared at his neck. "Nero Guillotine!"

Orochimaru quickly used his Body Rebirth jutsu to spit out the real one just as the Kage Bunshin cut off his Bunshin's neck. Then the Snake Sannin bit his thumb and spread blood on his snake summoning tattoo, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

A large snake appeared and Naruto stared at it as he said, "You have got to be kidding me….This again? You need more tricks, Orochimaru…"

Orochimaru cried out, "Spill his blood, then eat him….I will need it to obtain the perfect body when I have Sasuke's own in my grasp." The snake lunged at Naruto, who jumped away from the snake's maw and shouted, "It's pointless! Firenze!"

Naruto held out Modeus in front of him and shot demonic energy shots at the snake's head, irritating it. The Jinchuuriki landed on top of the snake and Orochimaru laid down low as he sent out snakes with Kusanagi blades from their mouths.

"Well, that one is new…." Naruto muttered as he quickly sped past them and lopped off the snake's heads. "But still not new….anything else?"

"I will have your blood." The man said and Naruto retorted, "That is not new at all…."

"Then how about this? Kuchiyose: Edo Ten…"

"Not going to fuckin' happen!" Naruto shouted as he sliced the Sannin in half from the waist up, but Orochimaru said, "Gathering of the Snakes" The snakes came out from his torso to reattach him back to his bottom half.

"Mandara no Jin!" Orochimaru shouted, but Naruto countered, "Katon: Gouryuuka no Jutsu!" He blew a large dragon's head to come forth and burn the snakes descending on the Jinchuuriki. Orochimaru managed to fall back with Naruto at his heels.

"Ninpou: Seneitajashi!"

"Katon: Haisekiho!" The ash was blown at the snakes and Orochimaru, then Naruto clicked his teeth just as the snakes reached him and the ash exploded, damaging Orochimaru and destroying the snakes. The Snake Sannin fell to the ground and Naruto landed on his feet.

"Damn you…." Orochimaru hissed, obviously in pain from the burns and lacerations on his arms and chest.

"You know, someone wanted to have my blood and yet I am not bleeding in any way. Oh, well….time to die, Orochimaru!"

"You first, Sparda!"

Both were stabbed in the heart, Naruto coughed up blood and said, "Sneaky bastard…I didn't know that you can control your Kusanagi from a distance….very clever of you, but it will not stop me." The Jinchuuriki removed himself and Modeus from Orochimaru's body to move away to kill Kabuto, but then he heard a low hissing noise and jumped away to see Orochimaru in a giant while snake form made up with multiple smaller white snakes.

He had a scaled face with snake-like teeth and tongue, long, spiky black hair and a pointed chin. "Dai Hakebi Modo…." Orochimaru hissed out.

"Damn, you are one ugly motherfucker, but that form suits you just fine….now this time, I am not going to aim for your heart…." Naruto said as he sent Modeus back down to Hell and unsealed Alastor from his arm, "I am going to cut off your heard…..it seems that I will have to do the saying: Cut off the head and the body will die….this is the end of the line, Orochimaru…."

Orochimaru hissed back, "We will sssssee about that, SSSSSSparda…." The snake lashed out at Naruto, who smirked with Alastor in hand as the sword crackled with blue electricity.

Kabuto, Shizune, Jiraiya and Tsunade- Kabuto was being hard-pressed in taijutsu by Jiraiya, Shizune and a recovered Tsunade. Through her will of proving to her godson that she had changed back into the Sannin she was, she was able to overcome her fear of blood and joined in the fray.

Thus his ass was getting beaten, the only reason why the bastard was not dead was because of the fact that he had an innate healing ability when he transferred chakra to the area and Jiraiya, along with Tsunade were both weakened.

"Ninpou: Dokugiri!" Shizune shouted, as she exhaled purple fog from her mouth. "If I breathe in that fog, I will die…" Kabuto thought as he quickly ran out of the fog to meet Tsunade's fist. "Take it!" The Slug Sannin said, sending him to her former teammate.

Jiraiya gave the boy a flying kick in his chest, bruising Kabuto's ribs in the process. "Good thing I had those metal strips installed on the bottom of my geta." The Toad Sannin thought. He glanced over to Naruto, who was dodging attacks from Orochimaru's white snakes on his body.

"I need a bit more time; the effects of Tsunade's drug are weakening. Soon both Orochimaru and Kabuto will be dead."

Suddenly Shizune screamed in pain, snapping Jiraiya out of his stupor as he joined the fray to release Shizune form Kabuto's clutches. "Katon: Housenka!" Jiraiya shouted, making the traitor dodge and release Shizune. While Shizune healed the tendons in her arms, Tsunade and Jiraiya pressed on the attack on Kabuto.

The Yakushi was being pummeled by the hits, especially Tsunade's own. Next, Kabuto was taken by the ankle by Jiraiya and thrown to Tsunade, who kicked him up and gave the Yakushi a punch, sending him back to Jiraiya, who had prepared for the comeback.

"Rasengan!"

The orb was plunged into the evil man's chest, sending him crashing into a rock. "Damn, I didn't have enough power to kill him, but at least he shouldn't be able to get up now." Jiraiya said as he knelt to the ground, panting in exertion.

Kabuto got up groggily, but then he coughed up blood and fell to the floor, barely moving. Both Tsunade and Shizune sat on the ground, panting and healing their wounds with the bit of chakra that they had left. Meanwhile Naruto and Orochimaru were locked in battle as Orochimaru attacked him with a fast strike, but the Jinchuuriki deflected it with Alastor.

"Prop Shredder!" The snake's scales were sliced and Orochimaru screamed in pain as the blade cut into his body and then Naruto kicked him in the air, "Aerial Rave!" Orochimaru was sliced into four separate pieces and they fell to the ground in a bloody heap.

"It's done…" Naruto said as he walked away a bit to check on his comrades, but suddenly he felt dizzy, "W-What the?"

"Yamata no Jutsu…" Suddenly everyone turned to see Orochimaru's snakes converged on each other and grew bigger, turning into a eight-headed, eight-tailed white hydra. One of the mouths opened to show Orochimaru, who was laughing in a insane manner, "HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA! You can't kill me! I am immortal! A god! You will never defeat me or deny me my prize as the most powerful being in the Five Great Countries, your fate is to serve me in submission, Sparda and it will be easier with that poison entering your body from my Dai Hakebi Modo."

Naruto chuckled a bit and said, "You fool…..it doesn't matter if you have your ninjutsu or genjutsu. You…a god, don't make me laugh. You are just a human consumed with evil, it doesn't matter….you can get as big as you can, gain every jutsu in the world if you want, but in the end…"

Orochimaru mentally ordered his Hydra to attack him by gathering a energy ball as Naruto shouted, "IT'S POINTLESS!"

(Devil May Cry Anime Theme Song plays)

The Hydra fired and Naruto swung Alastor to block it and entered a power struggle. "I will not….lose….this is for Anko-chan, Kin-chan and Tayuya-chan…and….you…will…DIE!" Naruto shouted as his eyes glowed in an unholy light.

Naruto was able to launch the energy ball back at the hydra with the energy of his own, destroying it completely only to leave Orochimaru beaten and crawling away backwards. "Why….why can't I kill you? I am more powerful than you; I have more strength than you."

"The answer is simple; Orochimaru….it is because you don't have a soul anymore. You see, each person has a soul, the driving force that allows them to fight the very end to defeat and overcome any obstacle in their way, it dictates them to tell them what to do what is right. You lost your own the moment you experimented on those innocent people, marked Anko-chan and manipulate your subordinates to make them suffer."

"Wait….I can give you more power, let me go free and I promise that I will never show my face here ever again."

Naruto hefted Alastor on his shoulder and pulled out Luce, "Nope, after what you did, I can't really let you go free….you are way too dangerous to be left alive, Orochi-teme. Plus Sasuke just got his life back on track and I can't let you screw that up for him."

Orochimaru shouted, "You bastard!" He shot out Kusanagi from his mouth and Naruto moved to the side to let the sword fly past him and saw Orochimaru leap at him. He raised Luce in his left hand and said, "Jackpot…" He began to shoot Orochimaru all over his body, making the Snake Sannin suspend himself in the air.

Then the Jinchuuriki shot Orochimaru once in the head, making him fall to the ground. "Orochimaru-sama!" Kabuto cried out. Naruto ignored the outcry as he put Luce away and moved over to Orochimaru's dead body, raised Alastor over his head and beheaded the dead Snake Sannin.

"End of the line….Orochimaru…" Naruto resealed Alastor and took out a scroll to seal Orochimaru's head. The Jinchuuriki moved over to Kabuto, "And now it is your turn….Kabuto Yakushi, you will join your master in the pits of Hell."

Kabuto glared at him with anger and then he smiled, "No, it is going to be you!" The former right-hand man of Orochimaru snapped his fingers to have a few hordes of the Seven Sins appear in front of him as well as the leader, the Hell Vanguard.

"So you were the one….I should have known, Kabuto, but I actually have to thank you for sending me the Vanguard."

Kabuto replied with a sneer, "You can repay me by sending your head to me…but I suppose that you will disagree with that. So I will recover and bide my time before I come to kill you, Naruto Sparda."

"And I will be waiting, you necrophilic snake bitch."

Kabuto flipped through hand signs and disappeared in a puff of smoke, Naruto said, "Jiraiya-sensei, Tsunade, Shizune….get your asses moving, I will handle this affair."

Shizune said, "But, Naruto-kun…."

"Don't argue with me, you three are in no condition to fight hordes of demons right now."

Tsunade said, "But neither are you, Naruto, it is suicidal for you to do this….you will die."

"I won't die…I have my friends, my lovers, my family waiting for me to come back to…you guys can't survive fatal hits like me, plus Tsunade-baa-chan, you still haven't confessed to sensei that you are in love with the damn pervert. So when I get back, I expect you two to be making out like two long-lost lovers, got it?"

Tsunade began to protest, but Jiraiya calmly put a hand on her shoulder, "You better get back to us safely….Naruto or I will find a way myself to Hell and travel there myself to kick your ass."

Naruto gave him the thumbs up and the three left, "Hehehe, this is what I live for….I am absolutely crazy about it!" Naruto said as he pulled out Luce and Ombra to start shooting at the demons. The Jinchuuriki kicked one in the chest and shot it, then aimed Ombra at another, shooting it in the mouth.

Suddenly several demons took out their scythes to slash at him, but Naruto jumped in the air and used the connecting scythes' heads as a springboard to leap high in the air. He looked over to see fifteen Greeds and thought, "Looks like to get to stop the horde from getting any bigger, I got to destroy the Greeds first and I need to cut a path."

Naruto shot the one below him and holstered his guns to summon Baul in his hands.

(Devils Never Cry plays)

"Time to go to work, boys." Naruto said as he ran toward the hundred strong and carved a path through the demons to reach one of the summoners. The Greed lifted the heavy medium in its hands and tried to knock the Sparda down only for the Jinchuuriki to jump over the medium and cut off its head.

"One down." He said as suddenly a Pride teleported in front of him only for Naruto to stab it. He kicked one in the head and used his swords to bisect a Hell who has the intelligence to block with his scythe….but it failed as his weapon was destroyed.

Naruto narrowly dodged a slash and caught the weapon as he discarded Baul for the moment; he ripped it from the Hell and killed him with it. Naruto expertly began to toy with the scythe a bit and moved into a bojutsu stance. One Hell, who was gearing up to blast him with a sand bullet attack got his head cut off.

"Not in this life, you dumb son of a bitch…."

The young Sparda began to reap several demonic souls for the next ten minutes and in the process, he took care of five summoners. "This is getting me nowhere…..Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Four clones appeared and unsealed Alastor, Berial, Beowulf and summoned Modeus.

Naruto threw the scythe away, killing several and called Baul to him. The swords spun as they came to him, killing three Hells. "Now let's have some fun, shall we?" Naruto said. The clones nodded as they attacked, killing every Hell in sight until there was no Hell left except for the Hell Vanguard.

"Alright….guys, dispel, but one at a time."

The clones followed his orders and Naruto mentally relived every single kill he got. "Nice….now for you…"

The Hell Vanguard screeched at him, swinging his scythe and disappeared. Naruto's eyes narrowed as he began to flip his swords in his hands as he moved around, suddenly a ripple appeared behind him and Naruto moved to block the scythe from digging into his back.

The Jinchuuriki struck back, but the overseer of the Seven Hells disappeared within his fabric of time and space. Naruto chose to jump in the air, but a portal opened up and the false God of Death came out, slashing at Naruto.

The Jinchuuriki clashed with the scythe-wielding demon, then the boy landed and the Hell Vanguard let loose a creepy laugh, Naruto replied, "Alright, I will give you something to laugh about…Quaking Fear!" Naruto stabbed his swords into the earth, making the area shake and the demon lost its balance.

Naruto ran at the demon, leaving Baul in its fixed position while gathering his chakra, "Eat this, you son of a bitch! Rasengan!" The orb was plunged into the demon's face, obliterating into blue dust and the Sparda, landing in front of the dust and noticed that the scythe was left there; the blue sand swirled into a glowing orb and embedded itself into the scythe.

Naruto picked it up and said, "Normally I would showboat a bit, but right now, I am tired as hell." He limped back to his hotel, surprising Shizune, Tsunade and Jiraiya. "Naruto!" they all shouted in unison.

"Hey…I thought I told you two….to be making out like two long-lost lovers." Naruto said before he passed out on the floor with the scythe falling to the floor with a loud clang. "That is our godson…crazy little bastard…." Tsunade smiled as she took her necklace off and put it around his neck.

"Lady Tsunade, that…."

"Thanks to him, Shizune, I can believe in the title of Hokage once more, this boy….my godson is a very hard bastard to kill. As for you….Jiraiya…."

"Huh?"

The female Sannin grabbed Jiraiya by the collar and planted a firm, but fierce kiss on his lips, surprising him. "I am sorry….for being an idiot and not noticing your feelings until now."

Jiraiya, for once in his life, was speechless and had nothing to say on the matter. On the next day, Naruto woke up to see a sleeping Shizune and Tonton, but no Jiraiya and Tsunade. The Jinchuuriki got up and went to make breakfast until everyone woke up.

Jiraiya and Tsunade came downstairs with contented smiles….well; Jiraiya had a shit-eating grin plastered on his face. "So where is my god-child going to be due?" Naruto asked. The two remaining Sannin blushed and Naruto laughed a bit, "Alright, after breakfast….we return to Konoha."

"Right…"

"I assume that the necklace is yours, Tsunade-kaa-chan…"

"Kaa-chan?"

"Well, yeah, you are my remaining family and you are sort of a mother/aunt figure….who compulsely loses at gambling and drinks a lot."

Tsunade said, "Why you…."

Shizune giggled at the sight that she woke up to….Naruto and Tsunade getting into an argument with Jiraiya acting as the middleman. "Naruto Namikaze Sparda…..thank you for bringing Tsunade-sama back to her old self again." Shizune thought to herself, "I believe that I will only see and hear nothing but great things from you and your unorthodox methods."

"Feeling nostalgic, Tsunade-baa-chan?" Naruto asked the Slug Sannin.

The Sannin answered, "A bit" They entered the Hokage Tower and Tsunade nodded to Naruto as they both kicked the door open, barging in the tower. The Sandaime was there on time since Jiraiya sent a messenger bird to them earlier.

Sarutobi addressed his former student warmly, "Hello, Tsunade-hime, welcome back home."

"Good to be back, you old geezer….now on to business, I am here to take up the mantle of Hokage like my ancestors before me and bring about some new changes around here."

"Yes, but first, you must rest….you must have had a long journey…"

"We did…I will tell you of the events tomorrow."

Meanwhile in an abandoned base, Kabuto was experimenting on Orochimaru's headless body. He managed to change Orochimaru into his Snake Sage Mode and isolate the cells to embed it into himself. "Now…that I am done with that, I will summon Orochimaru's soul back, but Edo Tensei limites the time and has an anchor to the Shinigami….so I must open the True Hell Gate to get it. I will have to research on getting the perfect body for Orochimaru-sama, so we can have our revenge against Konoha and most especially, Naruto Sparda…."

Kabuto began to laugh manically in full malice, causing the remaining test subjects, I mean, prisoners to shiver in their cells. A new evil has been born…..

Hakureisaiga- Alright, next chapter is Ninja Clash in the Snow
